I'd have expected at least a BJ and steak dinner for that!

I hope you're feeling better.

Was listening to the radio last week and, if there is a Brexit deal, then our EHICs will still operate up to the end of the transition period (2021). This is because there is a reciprocal arrangement for people from the EU to be treated here. If no deal then EHIC's will cease to be effective from 28th March 2019.

Ooops, forgot - hope you're ok John.

Dont you have an E111

E111 is now ehic though it does the same..
Because it was an emergency and I was totally out of it, they took me to the closest hossy which was an iMed place.
Legally they were supposed to perform triage then get me shipped to the national hospital.
Turns out the place has got a reputation for ripping off brits all the time, and they always plead ignorance.
Ah well, shit happens

Are you ok??
Bit rough mate, but not too bad
Very tender around the area, but give it time....
Just a matter of being patient and letting nature take its coarse
Best way to describe it is like being badly bruised...
